BLACK BOSS (4) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when second over 2000m at Marseille-Borely. Should park just off the speed. Among the leading chances. GOLDEN BROWN (3) is fitter for two runs back from a spell and has been in the placings at both appearances, the latest when third over 1600m at Toulouse. Fitter and should be in the finish again. C'EST VRAI (7) stepped out on his debut over 1600m at Toulouse six-and-a-half weeks ago and finished fifth, beaten 7 lengths. Top-three chance with that run under his belt. ALMERIA (9) wasn't far away on debut last start over 2000m at Marseille-Borely, finishing fourth and beaten 2.25 lengths. Has upside and must be respected.
